Why is the quotation mark is used as in "I"? What is the role of the quotation mark here?
I don't know what the passage above says, but if it's written in first-person, then "I" is referring to whoever the "I" is in that passage. It's quoting the name of the narrator, in a way.
The quotation marks around "I" in the sentence serve two different roles: they indicate direct speech and they distinguish the pronoun "I" from the rest of the sentence.
1. In the sentence, "I" didn't have breakfast, the quotation marks are used to indicate direct speech. The speaker is referring to themselves, directly stating that "I" didn't have breakfast.
2. In the sentence, "I" usually get up late, the quotation marks are used to set the word "I" apart from the rest of the sentence. This is often done when the speaker wants to emphasize or draw attention to a specific word or phrase.
When quotation marks are used in this context, it signals that "I" is being referenced as a word or concept, rather than the speaker simply using it as a personal pronoun. It helps to avoid confusion and clarify the intent of the sentence.
